Topic: Rename from a file list

- have ten files selected- load new names from a text file- rename file 1 with the name in line 1- rename file 2 with the name in line 2- rename file 3 with the name in line 3... .... ...- rename file 10 with the name in line 10

Syntax of the text file maybe like:old name:new name ===> rename 1:1 relation ship if 'old name' is foundoldname2:newname2old3 name:new3 namenext old name:next new name

andnew name ====> rename by position name1:line1, now mercy.newname2new3 namenext new nameor:new name:newname2

Re: Rename from a file list

Rapidly thinking, here is how i see things under the next version (2.00):- First save the current directory's file names.The problem here will be to retrieve the original file order for the rollback. As only renamings will be done maybe sorting the file list on the creation/modification date time can be an idea. Select the files and copy the names to the clipboard (Ctrl+Shift+P, like in the 1.90), paste in a text editor and save the file. "C:\test_flist.txt" for example.- Make the needed tests- Resort the file list following the original criteria- Select the files and apply a rename expression like: %T{"C:\\test_flist.txt"}(this is currently the syntax of the text file line extraction)

Another idea might be: depending on the length of your file list maybe could it be possible to transform it into an expression.

Re: Rename from a file list

I've already been asked to add a checksum variable.But computing it on big files can take a while therefore some investigation has to be done for its integration.If the checksum remains the same so should be the modification time.
